“Keep Your Brand Protected with Professional Trademark Renewal & Restoration Support”
Quick Answer
A registered trademark in India is generally valid for 10 years from the date of registration. Trademark renewal extends the validity of your registration for another 10 years, helping you continue protecting your brand name, logo, or other registered mark.
If the renewal deadline has already passed, restoration may still be available within the prescribed period, depending on the status of your trademark and the applicable legal provisions.
Need Immediate Assistance?
If your trademark is due for renewal or has recently expired, acting early allows enough time to review your registration, prepare Form TM-R, organise supporting documents, and complete the renewal or restoration process before additional complications arise.

Is Your Trademark About to Expire?
A trademark is one of the most valuable intellectual property assets a business owns. It protects your brand identity, builds customer confidence, and gives you exclusive rights over your registered mark.
However, trademark protection is not permanent. If a registered trademark is not renewed within the prescribed timelines, the registration may lapse, and the business could face additional legal and commercial challenges.

Understanding the renewal process before your registration expires can help you avoid unnecessary risks and additional costs.
